And I discovered that there were 5 children in the family. And that his parents sometimes try to find work as farmers so that they can feed their family. I found out that Sayouba is in primary school where he is struggling and is currently below average. (this could be for many reasons - malnutrition, or having to help look after siblings etc.)

So until the sponsor that God has chosen for Sayouba comes along, I will be praying every day for this young man. For whatever he is going through in his daily life today, I will be praying for his safety, for his health, for his family, for their home, and for his schoolwork. I pray that he will know that His heavenly Father is with him and knows his name and loves him very much.
